Coho’s Investment PhilosophyWhere protection and participation meet

Coho firmly believes that the best method to create and sustain long-term wealth is to:

• Protect principal in down markets

• Generate competitive returns in all but the most speculative of up markets

• Incorporate proprietary ESG analysis as an important aspect of a fundamental research driven process

To accomplish this goal, Coho:

• Focuses on an investable universe that consists of companies explicitly chosen because of their long history of stable business models, solid growth, excellent management teams, and shareholder/ ESG friendly practices

• Selects stocks based on high predictability and low variability of revenues, earnings and cash flows

• Manages a concentrated, benchmark agnostic portfolio - generally 25-35 names

Dividend discount model of securities in the portfolio shows at least 600 basis points of annualized expected excess return, typically 10% - 12% expected IRR

Portfolio Construction


Building Coho’s PortfolioKey elements of the investment process

Execute thorough research on ESG universe and its drivers

Narrow focus to a highly selective, advantaged universe of companies that have generally shown long-term stability and growth in most economic environments

Construct Dividend Discount Models (DDMs) for each company using realistic yet conservative assumptions

AN ADVANTAGED UNIVERSE: COHO 250

PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION

IN-DEPTH FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH DETERMINES ATTRACTIVENESS

The portfolio contains 25 to 35 securities

Long-term investors with low annual portfolio turnover (15% to 20%)

Employ an exclusionary overlay that removes tobacco, firearms, alcohol, defense and mining

Integrated ESG qualitative and quantitative framework

SUSTAINABLE LEADERS: COHO ESG 200 UNIVERSE

Buy/sell decisions driven by risk/return profile


An advantaged universe“Coho 250”

Coho quantitively and qualitatively screens U.S.-listed companies for:

• Stability - low variability in earnings, revenues, and cash flow growth

• Growth - absolute and relative growth in revenues, earnings, and dividends

• Profitability – low capital intensiveness and excess free cash flow generation

• Quality - balance sheet strength, management integrity, depth and execution

• Shareholder Focus - transparency of financials and operational strategy, capital allocation, dividends, buybacks, and bolt-on acquisitions


Sustainable Leaders“Coho ESG universe”

Coho uses proprietary quantitative and qualitative processes to develop a holistic sustainability profile for each company

Companies that demonstrate the Coho asymmetric pattern of returns

Initial screening excludes alcohol, tobacco, firearms, gambling, defense, and mining industries

Focus on multi-year trends on Environmental, Social, and Governance factors

Benchmark the sustainability journey for each company

Active dialogue with company management

ESG proxy voting

Identify material and financially relevant ESG factors for each business model

Controversy evaluation discipline

Common fundamental drivers across securities:

* Governance

* Human capital

* Environmental stewardship

Section Four:

Coho’s Commitment to ESG


Portfolio’s Impact examplesPortfolio snapshot

Dollar General• Recommended the company formalize its ESG effort, increase

disclosure, and publish a corporate sustainability report. The company was actively engaged and sought our input on which standards to consider.

• ESG initiatives will receive more focus going forward. For example, an equal pay survey was conducted to look at gender-based wage gaps. Changes are being implemented as a result of the findings.

Grainger• Participated in a materiality assessment to determine ways in which

Grainger could improve its ESG focus. The company already ranks very high on sustainability issues, and we strongly support the proactive effort to improve and incorporate major shareholders’ input into its ESG policies and initiatives

• Encouraged separation of Chairperson/CEO role.

Illinois Toolworks• Discussed the reasons for lack of corporate-wide environmental targets

and encouraged the company to adopt clear and time-bound environmental goals.

• Reviewed the skillset of the board members and encouraged addition of new members with more diverse industry experience and backgrounds.

• Requested addition of Environmental and Social metrics as part of the executive compensation package.

Examples of companies Coho has actively engaged with:Omnicom• Conveyed that the company’s Corporate Responsibility Report

lacks sufficient quantitative metrics and needs to include more tangible targets and goals. Aggregation of data is difficult given 1,500 separate ad agencies under the Omnicom umbrella, but the general counsel indicated this is something upon which they will focus.

• Sought increased structure around data privacy, particularly in light of the implementation of GDPR.

• Encouraged the addition of board members with IT experience given the changing landscape of ad delivery.

Proctor & Gamble• Dissented with Proctor & Gamble’s current approach to

compensation targets. The goals are not sufficiently challenging and management can be rewarded for delivering below industry performance. We believe this feedback is likely to result in an adjustment to the incentive plan going forward.

• Sought to understand the company’s lag relative to its goal to reduce packaging by 20%. A move to smaller pack sizes is the issue, but we view this more as a way to get price/margin and less due to customer demand. We argued for an increased focus on innovation to drive price and reduce waste moving forward.


Portfolio’s Impact examplesPortfolio snapshot

Examples where Coho has actively proxy voted:

Coho votes all their proxies using their customized ESG proxy voting policy and make decisions they believe have the potential to enhance shareholder returns and benefit stakeholders

• Evidence of a link between executive pay and performance; Review of financial and non-financial targets such as sustainability metrics

• Limit non-CEOs to three public boards and CEOs to serve on only one outside board

Our 2019 proxy voting record

✓ Voted against 51 directors who did not meet Coho’s policy requirements on board commitments

✓ Supported 49% of shareholder proposals compared to 30% for the S&P 500 Index . Coho’s vote against management proposals was 11% compared to 4% for the S&P 500 Index

PURCHASES SALES

Portfolio ReviewYTD 2020 Portfolio Transactions

Source: Advent/Axys


We engaged with several companies to influence and advocate for commitment to sustainability

▪ Focus on financial and business model specific materiality

▪ Improve metrics for executive compensation and incorporate sustainability metrics

▪ Increased disclosure; Incorporate climate related risks within long term strategic planning

Examples of discussions

Lowe’s is a leading home improvement store chain in the US. The corporate responsibility strategy is centered around product sustainability, strong community relations and operational excellence.

• Encouraged the management team to accelerate progress on energy efficiency, GHG emissions, and sales of eco-friendly products.

• Asked the company to limit non-executive board directors to serve on three total boards, and to incorporate sustainability metrics within the executive incentive plans.

Ross Store operates 1800 off-price department store across the US. ROST has historically received low ratings from 3rd party ESG rating vendors due to limited disclosure.

Encouraged management to publicly disclose ROST’s new five-year sustainability roadmap which addresses energy use, waste reduction, and reporting transparency.

Advocated for more independent board members as the current CEO and two prior CEO’s all serving as directors. ROST leads on gender diversity metrics with four or 36% as women including the current CEO.

ESG metric definitionsPortfolio snapshot

Carbon Impact (tonnes) In order of availability: Bloomberg collected GHG (“Greenhouse Gas”) emission data, CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emission data, CDP (“Carbon Disclosure Project”) collected total GHG emissions; If no data is reported, then use Bloomberg estimated or CDP estimated emission data.

Carbon Efficiency (tonnes/1m USD invested) =σ𝑀𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑖 𝐶𝑎𝑟𝑏𝑜𝑛 𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖

σ𝑀𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑖

Carbon Efficiency (tonnes/1m USD sales) = σ𝑀𝑒𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑊𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐶𝑎𝑟𝑏𝑜𝑛 𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦𝑖

Water Intensity per Sales Calculated as cubic meters of water consumed per million of sales revenue in the company's reporting currency. Ratio is calculated based on items disclosed in company filings. Calculated as: Total Water Use * 1000000 / Sales.

Greenhouse Gas Intensity per Sales Calculated as metric tonnes of greenhouse gases emitted per million of sales revenue in company’s reporting currency. Ratio is calculated based on items disclosed in company filings. Calculated as: Total GHG Emissions / Sales. Total GHG is defined as Scope 1 + Scope 2 emissions. Total CO2 emissions are a subset of GHG emissions and for most companies CO2 will compose >90% of Total GHGs.

ESG Disclosure ScoreProprietary Bloomberg score based on the extent of a company's Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure. Companies that are not covered by an ESG group will have no score and will show N/A. Companies that do not disclose anything will also show N/A. The score ranges from 0.1 for companies that disclose a minimum amount of ESG data to 100 for those that disclose every data point collected by Bloomberg. Each data point is weighted in terms of importance, with data such as Greenhouse Gas Emissions carrying greater weight than other disclosures. The score is also tailored to different industry sectors. In this way, each company is only evaluated in terms of the data that is relevant to its industry sector. This score measures the amount of ESG data a company reports publicly, and does not measure the company's performance on any data point.

Sustainalytics Percentile RankOverall percentile rank assigned to the company based on its environmental, social and governance (ESG) total score relative to its industry peers. For the top 1% the percentile is 99%; for the bottom 1% the percentile is 1%. This is Sustainalytics' most comprehensive percentile rank. Aggregate ESG performance encompasses a company's level of preparedness, disclosure, and controversy involvement across all three ESG themes.
